Just returned from a 7-day charter to BVI’s with Capt Nate and Chef Makayla onboard Ithaka, a 54’Bali. Makayla was an awesome chef, preparing excellent meals, even making exceptions with dietary restrictions for some of our group. Capt Nate was the best tour guide, giving us options/suggestions for all our stops. He also was a great bartender. Kevin with Mainsail was great to work with also, highly recommend using him to book your trip. Will definitely book with him for our next trip!

Our family of four had the most amazing and relaxing spring break of our lives aboard the Iara. The sailboat is well-appointed and clean. We had plenty of space, and the kids loved all the nooks.
We traveled throughout the British Virgin Islands, hitting every spot we’d heard about and some areas recommended by the crew. Our favorites included the Baths at Virgin Gorda, the bubbling pool at Jost Van Dyke, snorkeling around the Norman Island caves and making it to the Bitter End.
The crew was the best part of our trip. Paul and Lexy made our vacation so easy and fun. Paul ensured we had the right mix of adventure, water sports, and relaxation. Lexy is a talented chef, and the meals were fresh and delicious. She somehow adapted her menu to please our picky kids. We lingered over gorgeous sunsets and different cocktails every evening.
We will never forget that trip! It was amazing!

My family and I did a seven-day charter with Knot5280 in BVI and it was amazing! Holly and Joe were fabulous, great food, knowledge and service. Kevin was great to work with, responsive and prompt in communication from the beginning. Don’t miss out on an amazing experience! Will definitely be chartering again! Thanks Kevin, Holly and Joe!

Just wrapped up a 7 night sail on Touch the Sky! 10 out of 10! The boat was so spacious for a group of 10. Never felt crowded and we were all able to hang out together or separate if we wished. The food was amazing! Hillary and Nate were great and lovely people to spend the week with. Sailing is one of my favorite vacations and this past week was perfect. Thanks Kevin!!!

Just got back from our first ever charter in the BVI’s. We were a week on the Big Nauti, and it was a total treat. The boat was exactly as advertised, in great condition and had all the toys and amenities. What made the trip, however, was our crew-captain Per and first mate/chef Ashley. By the end of the week, they were part of the family. They were attentive to all the details, flexible with the itinerary and the cocktails and food were next level and delicious. A bucket list trip to remember…we will be back!

We took a seven-night cruise on the catamaran Felix, November 2024. We had an absolutely amazing experience! There were six of us on board. The cabins were plenty roomy enough. Captain Charlotte and Chef Maddy were amazing the entire week. We enjoyed great meals and great times. We visited so many beautiful places and were able to go paddle boarding, snorkeling, and swimming as part of an unforgettable relaxing family vacation. This won’t be the last time we charter with Mainsail.
